Setting up a Discuz Forum quickly in Windows (you can also refer to setting up other php forums)

Let's talk a few nonsense first.
In the. Net field, excellent forums include Community Server, yetanotherforums, and CVBBS.
In the php field, excellent forums include phpwind, phpbb, Discuz, vBulletin, etc.

I have tried several forums in the asp/. net field, but none of them are very good. For example, the Community Server architecture is very good, but it is very complicated and not quite in line with national conditions. Yetanotherforums development is too slow. Its architecture is relatively novel, but it is not yet mature and stable. If you want to develop the Chinese official version, hurry up.
CVBBS is commercial, and its interface style is elegant and concise. It can be expanded to some extent, and the interface modification is also very good. But it is not open-source, and has not been tested on a large scale. Its SEO is also poor.

In addition, there are some small forum systems that will not be listed one by one. Their life is short, so don't let the spam spoil. So on the. net platform, I like Community Server most. For more information, see the modified Forum: ethereum.

Go to the topic.
I pay less attention to php, but there are still many famous forums. The above only lists a few. Among them, discuz is widely used in China.

In addition, there is a large amount of support. It's hard to think about poor performance. Study this forum first. I will try again later, but I am not familiar with php.

If you want to use this forum like me, you don't have to worry about the bad configurations such as php, mysql, and apache.

So we can set up a discuz forum with just a few mouse clicks.
1. First download a PHP Server without installation (Introduction, download APMXE for PHP4, this article will use this), then install it on the C disk, and create a Directory php for better management (other disks can also, but I tried it. To avoid hurting your brain cells, I suggest you install it on drive C ).

2. Check Several folders in the just-installed c: \ php Directory, including apache, htdocs, mysql40, and php4. If you connect to apache, mysql does not know anything. It doesn't matter if you know that htdocs is used to store PHP files. The folder will be put in discuz.

3, to discuz official (www.discuz.net) to download a discuz 5.0 official version (recommended UTF-8, do not use GBK, some places will be garbled ). If you don't even have this, I suggest you find the highest place in the world to jump down.

4. decompress the package and copy the upload file to the htdocs directory in step 2. Create discuz5 for ease of management. In this way, you can install discuz4.

5, first start the APMXE4 controller (installed on the desktop), and then browse http: // localhost/, point phpMyAdmin-2.8.0.2/
Go to mysql database management, create a database discuz5 in it, and then select this database. There is a place to execute SQL statements in the SQL column on the top right. Copy upload/install/discuz. SQL of discuz5 and run it to build the database.
Modify the configuration. inc. php of the discuz forum and read the instructions in the Forum to learn how to modify the settings. Default modification:
$ Dbuser = 'root'; // database username
// Database username

$ Dbpw = ''; // database password
// Database Password

$ Dbname = 'discuz5'; // database name

Enter the discuz URL (http: // localhost/discuz5. The default administrator user passwords are admin.

Admin, now you can start your discuz tour.

Kindly reminder: do not forget to change the Database Password and administrator password after the official release (dummies always think everyone is stupid :))
